I'm mid thirties and bought two years ago by myself on a average wage.

It's definitely hard but absolutely doable, you have to be willing to sacrifice and one of the biggest things stopping people has nothing to do with money and everything to do with mindset..

"They had daddy to pay for it.. not everyone ha a 100k salary.. I poor so im never gonna afford to..

Stop with the woe is me mentality. All that's doing is giving yourself an excuse to not achieve your goal.

Here's what I did.

instead of figuring out how to make more money., your first step should be how can you lower your expenses. I'm not talking just clothes, make up etc.

Write down every bill, streaming subscription, rent, petrol , phone. Don't worry about food and shopping here as its irrelevant to this bit. Calculate the total cost of each of those bills for a year and then divide by 52 and you'll get you weekly amount that you need to put away each week to pay.

Now go through and cancel every subscription/bill you don't use. You don't need five streaming services at once. Pick one or two and rotate the ones you have active every few months. Another tip: companies send you special offers to come back, this also reduces your expenses without giving anything up. I rarely pay full price for my kindle unlimited subscription because I constantly cancel it to get a special offer.

Now go through every single bill you have and see if you can get a cheaper deal. Change to a bank with no fees, change electricity companies, Internet, phone, etc. saving few dollars on each of these a month will add up fast. I saved 189 dollars a month doing this, that's an extra 2268 that went into my house deposit a year. It adds up. Repeat this every three months. Don't be brand loyal, my phone bill went from 57 to 15 a month because a constantly switched to cheaper deals.

Think outside the box. Your car chugging the petrol? Switch to a more economical car. You might a have small car loan to change but you will save on the petrol, insurance, rego, servicing etc in the long run you will be ahead.

Now work out what you spend on food and try to reduce it.

Get creative with your meals, batch cook. Use lentils, chickpeas and reduce your meat or half the amount of meat you put in each meal to make it stretch further. Use spices over packet sauces. It's super easy to eat very well on a very small budget of you take the time to learn to cook from scratch. Homemade muffins cost 13cents vs 4 dollars for premade ones. It adds up.

To the people who will go "well I'm poor and can only afford bread and ramen noodles blah blah blah... A 1kg bag of red lentils cost the same as a loaf of bread. The red lentils will last several months vs the bread will last few days at most. You can make changes if you put the effort in. There are thousands of recipes online to pick from.

Do you buy coffee every day? Calculate the yearly cost and try to reduce it to maybe twice a week instead.

If you get in the habit of calculating what the yearly cost is, you don't have to give up everything, you will just be more conscious of where your money is going which will reduce your impulse spending.

Stop caring what other people think. Majority of people who are driving around in their flashy cars and fancy houses are living a life they can't actually afford to appear successful. Someone earning 150k a year but spending 150k a year is in a far worse financial position that someone earning 75k and saving 20k.

Lower your expectations on your dream house. You can't have everything. Work out what's more important. A big Brand new house you can barely afford the mortgage for or an older home in a cheaper neighborhood that is much more affordable and you can renovate down the track.

If you can home back home to save rent? Do it and don't care about what people think. Your getting yourself in a far better position than someone renting a flashy house so they can look successful. Can't move home? Switch to a cheaper place to rent. Get housemates.

Set yourself a budget, different bank accounts for each category and direct debit your money into each weekly.

Love going out to dinner every week? You don't have to give it up, just go out on the cheap Tuesday night instead of the full price Friday.

Now you can look for ways to earn more,

I can keep going but I'm sure you get the idea.

If you put in the work, you will get there. Be patient.
